Falling of Seasons
Music of Sally Greenaway
This advanced level chart is a modern through-composed jazz work in two parts: the start is atmospheric and features lush orchestration with the saxophones doubling on flutes and clarinets; the second section is fast-paced with an ostinato bass line and has a quasi middle-eastern flavour.
